Joe Manganiello Pulled Arm Muscle Dancing for 'Magic Mike' Sequel

Mar 26, 2015

Actor Joe Manganiello pulled a muscle in his arm while shooting an energetic dance routine for the upcoming Magic Mike sequel.
The True Blood hunk reprised his role as Big Dick Richie from Channing Tatum's 2012 male stripper movie for the sequel, but he was pushing himself so hard during one sexy scene, he suffered an injury.
His co-star Elizabeth Banks explains, "I was there on the day, well, happened to be there, on the day Joe Manganiello was doing his big routine, and actually he like, pulled his arm muscle, that's how crazy the dancing is! "I don't wanna give anything away, but it's bananas!" Magic Mike XXL is due for release this summer (Jul15).

Before they were gracing our big and small screens, they were strutting runways and mugging for fashion ads. Where would Hollywood be without models-turned-actors? With her new role in Paper Towns, Cara Delevingne seems to be the latest model to make the transition. And from the looks of it, it seems like she'll be successful. Here's a list of some other pretty people who have proven they can act, too! (Jury's still out on Kate Upton...)
1. Cara Delevingne
GIPHY
She first appeared in Anna Karenina starring Keira Knightley, and now she’s set to star in Paper Towns, the film based on the beloved John Green novel.
2. Caitriona Balfe
strngland.tumblr.com
Did you know this Outlander actress was a former Victoria’s Secret model? Must be why she wears all of those 18th century corsets so well. (That gif is her walking the Marc Jacobs runway in 2003. Werk.)
3. Jaime King
bashooking.tumblr.com
Before she was acting in Hart of Dixie and being BFFs with Taylor Swift, Jaime King modeled for Vogue and walked the runways as “James King.”
4. Shay Mitchell
GIPHY
This Canadian beauty modeled all over the world before landing her Pretty Little Liars gig. But she still puts her modeling skills to good use by posting killer selfies on Instagram.
5. Ashton Kutcher
GIPHY
He placed first in a "Fresh Faces of Iowa" modeling competition and dropped out of college to pursue modeling in New York. His modeling career was short-lived, though. In 1998, he landed the role of Kelso in That '70s Show.
6. Jamie Dornan
GIPHY
Yes, we know he's everywhere these days, but before he was the star of Fifty Shades of Grey, Jamie was just your average smoking hot Calvin Klein model.
7. Katherine Heigl
GIPHY
As a teen model in the '90s, Katherine graced the cover of Seventeen magazine and pursued acting gigs at the same time. In 1999, she got the part of Isabel Evans in Roswell, but her real acting breakout came when she landed a role on Grey's Anatomy.
8. Josh Duhamel
amell-ramsey.tumblr.com
Ashton Kutcher actually lost a modeling competition to Josh in 1997.
9. Emily Ratajkowski
GIPHY
This model got her first big break as the topless girl in Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” video, but quickly proved she was more than just a music video babe. She landed a key role in Gone Girl and set to star opposite Zac Efron in the upcoming flick We Are Your Friends.
10. Brooklyn Decker
GIPHY
Brooklyn, best known for her work as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, made her film debut in Just Go With It and has since appeared in Battleship and What to Expect When You’re Expecting.
11. Alexis Bledel
shinyruttinreavers.tumblr.com
She was all over those Naturistics lip gloss ads (remember those?) in the late 90s before she graced our screens as Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls.
12. Channing Tatum
headvsreality.tumblr.com
After he was a stripper but before he became an actor, Channing was a model. He posed for ads for Nautica and Abercrombie.
13. January Jones
GIPHY
Just like Betty Draper, January Jones used to be a model. But unlike Betty Draper, January went on to make an even better career for herself. And as we know from her Instagram #TBT pics, she wasn’t always so gorgeous and poised. There’s hope for everyone!

The award's previous recipients are Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Channing Tatum.

Actress Kerry Washington and Independence Day director Roland Emmerich were among the stars honoured by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) at its Media Awards on Saturday (21Mar15). The 26th annual prize-giving ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles, and Ellen DeGeneres presented Washington with the Vanguard Award for supporting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community.

How to Get Away With Murder was named outstanding drama series, The Imitation Game took home the outstanding film prize, while Amazon's comedy Transparent was the big winner in the television comedy category, taking the outstanding comedy series honour.
Other winners included The Normal Heart, which was named outstanding TV series, Days of Our Lives, which won outstanding daily drama, and punk band Against Me!, who were crowned outstanding music artists.

How well do you know one of 2014's most beloved films? Probably not that well. Below are 28 facts about the movie that you may not have known, and they'll help you realize just how awesome everything really is.
1. Even though he's the King of Voiceovers, this is Morgan Freeman's first animated film.

2. It's Wonder Woman's first theatrical appearance in a feature length film.
GIPHY/junkee.com
3. And, even though he didn't have a speaking role, The Flash's cameo marks his first theatrical appearance as well.
4. It's also the first time Batman and Superman have ever been in the same film together.

5. Vitruvius' staff is a chewed up lollipop stick.
Warner Bros. Pictures via Everett Collection
In most cases, a lollipop stick will fit perfectly into a figure's hand.
6. President Business' company is Octan Corporation, LEGO's fictional gas company that first appeared in 1992.
7. Benny, the "1980-something space guy," has a broken helmet chin strap, which was an extremely common defect for his line of figures at the time.
GIPHY/legomovie.tumblr.com
8. Vitruvius, when broken down etymologically, comes from the Greek words for "master" and "builder."
marilynpoy.tumblr.com
9. And, in fact, Vitruvius was a Roman author and architect in 1st century BC.
entertaintheidea.com
He's best known for his multi-volume De Architectura.
10. In Emmet's apartment there's a poster for a movie called Macho and the Nerd, the Russian title for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's 21 Jump Street (believe it or not).

11. The only LEGOs in the film that aren't computer-generated are the title cards (including "5 hours later"), some of the backgrounds, and the end credits.
Warner Bros. Pictures
12. When arriving in Cloud Cuckoo Land, Batman is extremely grumpy. It makes sense, since he's greeted by two of his greatest foes.
GIPHY/reddit.com
The clown represents The Joker and the diosaur/lizard man represents Killer Croc.
13. The film is a bit of a 21 Jump Street reunion for the directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, as well as the stars: Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Nick Offerman, and Dave Franco.
GIPHY/legomovie.tumblr.com
Tatum plays Superman and Hill plays the needy Green Lantern. Offerman appears as the robot pirate character Metal Beard. Franco has a cameo in the film as Wally.
14. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller wanted Liam Neeson to record Good Cop and Bad Cop in different sessions, but he refused. Instead, he recorded them in the same session, adding that manic quality to the character.
legomovie.tumblr.com
15. Cloud Cuckoo Land is actually from 414 BC.
pixel-bird.tumblr.com
Aristophanes' play The Birds features a perfect city in the clouds where everything is perfect, called Cloudcuckooland. In the movie, it's home of Princess Unikitty.
16. Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale were all at one point considered to reprise their Batman roles.
african-speed.tumblr.com
The role eventually went to Will Arnett.
17. At the end, the LEGO structures in the videos that appear behind Emmet while he's talking to President Business are real stop-motion films made by fans, not filmmakers. They're called "Brickfilms."
18. When Emmet jumps into the abyss that leads to the human world, he falls through a cardboard box labeled "Magic Portal," which is a nod to the first Brickfilm ever made, The Magic Portal.
benzarro.tumblr.com
19. There are tons of references to The Matrix.
GIPHY/legomovie.tumblr.com
The protagonists of both films live in worlds constructed by outside forces. Neo, the chosen one, dies at the end of The Matrix, and is brought back with the ability to see the Matrix for what it truly is. Emmet, the Special, falls into the human world and is dropped back into the LEGO world by a human child. When he's returned, he can "see everything," and can now see the part numbers for all of the pieces, just like Neo.
20. When Vitruvius says "We gotta write all that down 'cause I'm not gonna remember any of it," that's actually a Morgan Freeman outtake. He was frustrated with constant script changes, but the line worked so perfectly in the film.
21. President Business' helmet and cape are designed to look like a neck tie. Much of the President Business design incorporates elements of a typical businessman, like the horns of his helmet being made of coffee mugs.
GIPHY/reddit.com
22. The suds in Emmet's shower and the smoke in other scenes are actually made of LEGO ice cream scoops.
legomovie.tumblr.com
23. The pigs steering the the protagonists' stagecoach crash and explode into a bunch of sausages.
24. It's not the first time Will Forte has played Abraham Lincoln.
zacksnydrs.tumblr.com
He voiced the former president on MTV's Clone High, which was also one of the very first TV shows Phil Lord and Chris Miller worked on.
25. The croissants and turkey drumsticks are featured and referenced frequently for a very good reason: they're one of the few foods that fit into LEGO hands, and they show up most frequently in real LEGO sets. Only carrots show up more often than those two.
26. Lando and C-3PO are voiced by their original Star Wars counterparts, Billy Dee Williams and Anthony Daniels.
GIPHY/legomovie.tumblr.com
27. Morgan Freeman has stated this is his favorite Batman appearance ever (and he's starred in The Dark Knight trilogy).
GIPHY/MTV.com
28. And of course, "eight and a half years later" at the beginning of the film foreshadows the age of Finn, the child playing with the LEGOs.

Whoever said the music video was dead clearly wasn’t paying attention to the influx of buzzy videos from today’s artists featuring major star power. Shia LaBoeuf took Sia’s “Elastic Heart” video to an unexpected place, Natalie Dormer gave a sexy twist to Hozier’s “Someone New” video, and most recently, Oscar-winner Tom Hanks popped up in Carly Rae Jepsen’s “I Really Like You” video. It got us thinking about some past examples of this trend and we stumbled upon some other music videos featuring familiar faces. You may have forgotten about some of these so allow us to refresh your memory.
1. Wentworth Miller – Mariah Carey’s "Like That" and “We Belong Together”
YouTube
Before he became a torso-tatted hottie in Prison Break, Wentworth Miller was the star of Mariah’s “Like That” and “We Belong Together” videos. We’d be a runaway bride for him too!
2. Alexander Skarsgard – Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi”

Gaga met her current fiancé during a shoot for one of her music videos. Skarsgard, it could have been you!
3. James Van Der Beek – Kesha's “Blow”

Unicorns, lasers and the Beek. We don’t know why James agreed to do this video but we’re extremely glad he did.
4. Eva Mendes – Will Smith’s "Welcome to Miami"

Before they starred together in Hitch, Eva appeared in Will’s video for “Welcome to Miami.”
5. Jeremy Renner – Pink’s “Trouble”

7. Zach Galifianakis - Fiona Apple’s “Not About Love”

We still find it so random that Zach Galifianakis and Fiona Apple are buds.
8. Scarlett Johansson – Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around Comes Around”

Scarlett played Justin's hard-to-get love interest in this video, and later co-starred with his wife Jessica Biel in the movie Hitchcock.
9. Channing Tatum - Ricky Martin's "She Bangs"

Blink and you’ll miss it, but that’s Channing Tatum as a shirtless bartender in the “She Bangs” video. It was one of his first gigs and Ricky Martin was still singing about girls, so you know it’s from a while ago.

"Secret celebrity crush? Well that's an easy one - David Strathairn. Are you familiar with his work? He's just a handsome man of a certain age, who I think does consistently great work as an actor. I'm sorry I couldn't say Channing Tatum for you people." Girls star Lena Dunham on her unusual choice for a celebrity crush.

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith has a newfound sympathy for men after finally understanding how their libido can influence their decision-making following her own steamy experiences on the set of the Magic Mike sequel. The Gotham star plays a strip club owner in Channing Tatum's sexy new film, and she admits being surrounded by near-naked men on her first day at work awoke something within her.
Will Smith's wife tells U.S. talk show host Seth Meyers, "I learned something very interesting. You know how you guys are always telling us you have two heads and that they think at the same time, (but) they think differently...?
"So I walk on my set for the first time at my club. At my club it's just chocolate tastiness (all black men). It's 10, 11, 12 chocolate men getting breezed down by the make-up department and literally, I walked on the set and my knee buckled. Literally! My knee buckled! And for the first time in my life, the other head below started talking to me: 'Procreate! Procreate! Procreate!' My top head (brain) was like, 'Jada, there is not a Will Smith on this set, you can't procreate with nobody (sic)!'"
She continues, "That whole day, that was the moment when I was like, I feel really bad for guys, because all along, you're constantly dealing with that kind of stimulation. It's difficult and I got a reality on (experienced) it. That was a hard day! I only had one hard day, but it was rough!"
Ironically, after initially landing the role in Magic Mike XXL, Pinkett Smith insisted she wouldn't be tempted by her stripper co-stars, stating: "I'm used to being around all that beefcake because you know who I live with."
The actress' co-stars in the upcoming film include Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Donald Glover and American footballer-turned-TV host Michael Strahan.

Actor Adam Rodriguez forced himself to stick to his strict diet and work out regime to prepare for his role in the Magic Mike sequel, because he didn't want to appear as the "weakling" onset. The CSI: Miami star, 39, returns to the cast of the stripper film for Magic Mike XXL, the follow up to 2012's box office hit, but he admits it took some real commitment and discipline to whip himself back into tip-top shape after relaxing his eating habits and lifestyle in between movies.
He says, "We had to be completely disciplined. We were on that extreme path... we had a limited amount of time to get ready.
"Initially (I was miserable doing it), the first few weeks are the toughest, and then you get in the groove and you just become so focused, it just becomes the way you're living your life and you don't think about it."
Rodriguez admits he and his co-stars, including Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello, egged each other on throughout the training process and the friendly rivalry helped him step up his game.
He reveals, "We were all calling each other on the phone like, 'Are you in it? Are you in it? Are you in it?' There's a competition thing going on. You don't want to show up as the weakling! You're pushing your hardest for that."

Stars including Oprah Winfrey, Steve Carrell, Emma Stone and Channing Tatum walked away from the 2015 Oscars with their own statues made from Lego pieces. The actors were handed the gifts during Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island's performance of their Best Original Song contender Everything Is Awesome!!! from The Lego Movie. The models were nods to the film's Academy Awards snub after missing out on a Best Animated Feature nomination in January (15), when co-director Phil Lord responded to the news by posting a photo of the Lego Oscar statue online and captioning it, "It's okay. Made my own!"

Summary

After starting out as a model and music video dancer, actor Channing Tatum shot to stardom as the star of "Step Up" (2006), a classic high school romance set in the world of competitive dance that gave the unknown Tatum a chance to prove that he had more to offer. From there, Tatum enjoyed another teen success with "She's the Man" (2006), before unveiling surprising acting chops in the acclaimed coming-of-age drama, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" (2006). He went on to a prominent role in the war drama "Stop-Loss" (2008), and big budgeters "Public Enemies" (2009) and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (2009), before wooing the ladies with a romantic lead in the adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel, "Dear John" (2010). The busy actor began landing bigger and better roles, starring in the Roman-era drama "The Eagle" (2011), appearing alongside Al Pacino in "The Son of No One" (2011), and joining a top-notch cast for Steven Soderbergh's gritty action thriller "Haywire" (2011). By the time he starred in another Sparks adaptation, "The Vow" (2012), and the highly successful action comedy "21 Jump Street" (2012), Tatum had carved out a promising career playing physical characters with a believably sensitive bent.

Notes

"I really like doing action. It's one of those things where I negotiate the world physically, I think, more than mentally. You could call me a meathead or whatever, but I just do." – Tatum to Interview magazine, May 2009
